Going away on holiday should be a time<br />

of fun and relaxation and be as stress-free<br />

as possible. The last thing you want to hear<br />

is that your home has been robbed. Here<br />

are some tips to reduce that likelihood.<br />

• Make sure your home looks<br />

occupied. This means having your<br />

letter box cleared and not piling up,<br />

lawns mowed regularly, rubbish bins<br />

returned after being emptied, a car<br />

in the driveway if possible and lights<br />

on at night. However, don’t make it<br />

obvious that the lights are on a timer.<br />

Stop any regular or online deliveries<br />

while you are away. Have someone<br />

open and close curtains and park<br />

their car in your driveway. The<br />

ultimate security measure would be<br />

to have a trusted house<br />

sitter.<br />

• Remember to lock up<br />

your property, including<br />

all windows, doors,<br />

sheds, and garages. Use<br />

deadbolts if they are<br />

fitted, and fit a blocking<br />

bar to sliding doors to<br />

prevent entry. Ensure all<br />

tools are locked away so<br />

they can’t be used to aid<br />

entry.<br />

• Reduce the risk of being<br />

burgled by having an<br />

alarm system. Even<br />

while away, you can<br />

monitor your property<br />

in real-time. There are<br />

many cost-effective<br />

and easy-to-install<br />

smart alarm systems<br />

on the market. They<br />

can include doorbell<br />

cameras, security<br />

cameras, motion<br />

detectors and voice<br />

commands.<br />

• Avoid the temptation to<br />

let everyone know on<br />

social media or while<br />

you’re out in public that<br />

you will be absent from<br />

your home. Plenty of<br />

crooked people are on<br />

the lookout for that type<br />

of information. Wait<br />

Safeguard your home during the holidays<br />

until you return to post photos and<br />

videos of your trip away.<br />

• Get to know your neighbours and<br />

your community. Let them know<br />

you’ll be away and ask them to<br />

keep an eye on your property or<br />

invite them to park their car in your<br />

driveway.<br />

• If someone does break into your<br />

home, don’t make things easy for<br />

them. Hide all your valuables,<br />

computers, devices, jewellery,<br />

and confidential and financial<br />

documents. Having a fitted safe and<br />

using it can give you peace of mind.<br />

• Lastly, ensure your house and<br />

contents insurance covers are up to<br />

date and appropriate for your needs.<br />
